Next to reduced complexity and increased agility, one of the greatest advantages of moving to IP is cost reduction since it permits simple usage of commercially available off-the-shelf IP switches and cables. However, with new imaging technologies such as ultrahigh-definition (UHD)-1/4K, high frame rates, and high dynamic range, we have more pixels to manage, store, and transport. SMPTE ST 2110 supports both uncompressed and compressed videos. With uncompressed video essences, this requires 10 GbE workflows for HD, 25 GbE for UHD-1/4K, and even more for future UHD-2/8K workflows. Currently, many are struggling just to upgrade infrastructures from 1080i or 720p to 1080p60 at 3 Gb/s; handling UHD-1/4K video at 60 frames/sec, 4:2:2, and 10 bits is much more challenging. And with UHD-2/8K on the verge, a future-proof solution must be found. This paper explains how and why the new International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) XS in combination with part 22 of SMPTE ST 2110 for compressed video streams addresses and solves the problems of more pixels over limited bandwidth, latency, and image quality</i> .
